I've been wanting to get into some home recording for a while. I finally broke down and purchased a Roland BR-600 recorder. I researched the pro's and con's and felt like for the money that I wanted to spend, it gave the best bang for the buck. The fact that it had built-in effects, Dr. Rhythm drum machine & had programmed mastering tool kits, sold me on it. I spent a total of just less than $300 w/AC adapter. Hard to beat that.
I also purchased the Roland DVD Owners manual ($29.95) and highly recommend that DVD for anyone planning to purchase the BR-600. I recorded my first song a section at a time as I watched the DVD. Much easier than trying to find everything in the manual.
I've been using it now for about a month and here's a couple of originals that I put together.
